Answer:

Perpendicular slope is
(3)/(6) or
(1)/(2).

Explanation:

Given:

Let the perpendicular slope be x.

The given slope is
(6)/(-3)

For perpendicular slopes, the product of the slopes is equal to -1.

Therefore,
x* (6)/(-3)=-1\\-(6)/(3)x=-1\\6x=3\\x=(3)/(6)=(1)/(2)

Therefore, the perpendicular slope is
(3)/(6) or
(1)/(2).
